18 IT WELL WITH THEE? '< >
BY MRS. MARY t- ISIKCKIIKAP.
Pnrtid—perchanco we may meet no more;
Yet each Up in parting a gay smilo wore.
Wo shed no tear; we felt no griof;
©nr word* were cordial, frank and brief.
We parted, as even friends will part
©n Ufa's highway, or its crowded mart,
Who, with cheerful words and a kind good-bye,
CheoEC the separate paths where their duties
lie.
Tet oft in my dreams thy face I see,
And I ask. as I start from that reverie,
“Is it well with thee ? Is it well with thoe?"
Buay with pencil, pen or book,
©r, - with thoughtful eye and earnest look,
Meeting those daily earcs that come
To the poor man's hot and the rich man’s home:
-Musing in Nature's perfumed dells,
Happy where mirth or music dwells,
-When with careless jest the glad Upß part,
Or learß well up trom the wounded heart;
Mid the city’s roar; by the lonely sea,
Comes the same old question back to me:
“Is it well with thee? Is it Well with thee?”
©ft in those shrines man builds for prayer,
For the Great God-who roigneth everywhere,
1 sit with calm and quiet mien,
With heart attuned and with eye serene,
Listening to holy rite and prayer.
Feeling that peace and truth arc there;
When no woHdly vision dare Intrude
On the depth of that mental Bolitude,
Upon my ear some werd will fall
Ol the final doom that is meant for all,
And faintly I ash, though fervently:
“Is it well with thee? Is it well with thee?”
Host thou remember one summer day,
lire its beauty and freshness had passed away,
That we eat ’peath a thickly clustering vine,
And watcl ed with delight the sun's decline?
We were both too yonng to sigh at this;
©nr hopes setmtd endless, and life was bliss.
And music's breath, and the poet’s tone
Arid' the painter’s dream were onr theme alone.
’ By that friendship not wholly passed away,
Pure as th 6 light of that lovely day,
fiend token or message or sign to me,
“That ’tis well with thee—ay, well with thee.”

THE LUCK OF ROARING CAMP,
BY F. B. IIAJtTE.
There was commotion in Roaring Camp*
It could not have been a fight, for in iSSO'
that was not novel enough to have called
together the entire settlement. The ditches
and claims were not only deserted, but “Tut
tle’s” grocery had contributed its gamblers,
•who, it will be remembered,calmly continued
their game the day that French Pete and
Kanaka Joe shot each other to death over the
bar in the front room. The whole camp was
collected before a rude cabin on the outer
edge of the clearing. Conversation was car
ried on in a low tone, but the name of a
woman was frequently repeated. It was a
name familiar enough in the camp: “Chero-
hee Sal.”

climbed, asitwere, that rugged road that led
to the stain, and bo passed out of Boaring
Camp, its sin and shame forever. I do not
think that the announcement disturbed them
much, except in speculation as to the fate of
the child. “Can he live now ?" was asked of
Stumpy. The answer was doubtful. The
only other being of Cherokee Sal’s sex and
maternal condition in the settlement was an
ass. There wee some conjecture as to fitness,
but the experiment was tried. It was less
problematical than the ancient treatment of
Romulus and Remus, and apparently as suc
cessful.
When these details were completed, which
exhausted an&ther hour, the door was
opened, and the anxious crowd, which had
already formed themselves into a queue, en
tered in a single file. Beside the low bunk
or shelf, on which the figure of the mother
was starkly outlined below the blankets,
stood a pine table. On this a candle-box
was placed, and within it, swathed in
staring red flannel, lay the last arrival at
Roaring Camp. Beside the candle-box waß
placed a hat. Its use was soon indicated.
“Gentlemen,” said Stumpy, with a singular
mixture of authority and ex officio compla
cency—“ Gentlemen will please pass in at the
front door, round the table, and out at the
back door. Them as wishes to contribute
anything toward the orphan will find a hat
handy.” The first man entered with his hat
on; he uncovered, however, as he looked
abont him, and so, unconsciously, set an ex
ample to the next. In such communities good
and bad actions are catching. As the pro-
filed in, comments were audible —
criticisms addressed, perhaps, rather to
Stumpy, in the character of showman: “Is
that him?" “mighty small specimen;” “hasn’t
mor’n got the color;" “ain’t bigger nor a
deringer.” The contributions were as char
acteristic : A silver tobacco-box; a doubloon;
a navy revolver, silver mounted; a gold spe
cimen; a very beautifully
handkerchief (from Oakhurst, the gambler);
a diamond a diamond ring (sug
gested by the pin, with the remark from
the giyer that “he saw that pin and
went two diamonds better"); a slung-shot;
a Bible (contributor not detected); a golden
spur; a silver teaspoon (the initials, I regret
to soy, were not the giver’s); a pair of sur
geon’s shears; a lancet; a Bank of England
note for £5; and about $2OO in loose gold and
silver coin. During these proceedings
Stumpy maintained a silence as impressive as
the dead on hiß left—a gravity as inscrutable
asthat of the newly-born on his right. Only
'tmeincident occurred to break the monotony
of the curious procession. As Kentuck bent
over the candle-box half curiously, the child
turned, and, in a spasm of pain, caught at his
groping finger, and held it fast for a moment.
Kentuck looked foolish and embarrassed.
Something like a blush tried to assert itsell in
his weather -beaten cheek. “The d d lit
tle cuss !’’ he said,as he extricated his finger,
with, perhaps,more tenderness and care than
he might have been deemed capable of show
ing. He held that finger a little apart from
its fellows as he went out, and examined it
curiously. The examination provoked the
same original remark in regard to the child.

' have a Boothing, tranquillizing quality, and
' one song, sung by “Man-O -War Jack,” an
’ English sailor, from Her Majesty’s Australian
Colonies, was quite popular as a lullaby. It
was a lugubrious recital of the exploits of
| “ibe Arethusa, Seventy-four,” in a muffled

< at the burden of each verße, “On b-o-o-o-ard

j Jack holding The Luck, rocking from
side to side as if with the mo
tion of a ship, and crooning forth this naval
ditty.- Either through the peculiar rocking
of Jack or the length of his song—it con -
tairud ninety stanzaß, and was continued
with conscientious deliberation to the bitter
end —the lullaby generally bad the desired
effect. At such times the men would lie at
full length under the trees, in the soft summer
twilight, smoking their pipes and drinking in
the melodious uttetances. An indistinct idea
that this was pastoral happiness pervaded the
camp. “This ere kind o’ think,” Baid the
Cockney Simmons, meditatively reclining on
hiß elbow, “is evingly.” It reminded him of
Greenwich
Od the long summer days The Luck was
usually carried to tue gulch, from whence the
golden Biore of ltoaring Camp was taken.
There, on a blanket spread over pine boughs,
he would lie while the men were working in
the ditches below. Latterly there was a
rude attempt to decorate this bower with
flowers and sweet-smelling shrubs, and Gen
erally some one would bring him a cluster of
wild honeysuckles, azulias, or the panted
blossoms of Las Mariposas. The men had
suddenly awakened to the fact tha' there were
beauty and significance iu these trifles, which
they had so long trodden carelessly beneath
their feet. Afl ike of glittering mica, a frag
ment of variegated quartz, a bright pebble
Irsm the bed of the creek, became beautiful
to eyes thus, cleared and strengthened, and
were invariably pul aside for “Tne Luck."
It was wonderful how many treasures the
woods and billsities yield that “would do for
Tomnly." Burrouuded by playthings such as
l ever ibild out of fairy-laud had before, it is
to be hoped that Tommy was content. He
appealed to be securely happy—albeit there
was so iulautiue gravity about him—a con
templative light iu his round grey eyes that
sometimes worried Stumpy. He was always
tractable and quiet, and it is recorded that
once, having crept beyond his “corral" —a
hedge of teseallated pine boughs, which sur
rounoed bis bed- -he dropped over the bank on
bis head in the soft earth, and remained with
his mottled legs in the air in that position for
at least Hvo minutes with unflinching gravity.
He was extricated without a murmur.
I hesitate to record the many other
instances of his sagacity, which rest,
unfortunately, upon the statements of preju
diced friends. Some of them were not with
out a tinge of superstition. “I crep up the
bank just dow," said Kentuck one day, in a
breatiilesß slate of excitement, “and dern my
skin if he wasn’t a-tulking to a jay bird as
was a-sittin on his lap. There they was, just

Tlte Pacific Kaiiroads
A majority of tlic Senate Committee on the
Pacific Railroads made a report yesterday,
through Senator Stewart. They say that when
it was determined In committee to report to the
Senate a bill granting aid to the Noilhern Pa
cific and other roads, it was not understood that
the bill should be presented with a report. The
majority of the committee would now be con
tern to let the bill rest opon its
intrinsic merits, unaccompanied by an
explanation of its provisions, and a
demonstration of its policy and necessity, were it
not for the unexpected appearance, first in tbo
newspaper press, and afterwards in the Senate,
of a most extraordinary paper, entitled “Views
oi the Minority,” a paper unsonnd in theory, un
tair in Its lnleiences, and ungenerous and unjust
in its imputations.
To justify the action of a majority of the com
miilet, they now report to the Senate the con
sideration which induced them to adopt tho
policy of aiding at the present time, with govern
ment credit, the construction of additional lined
to the Pacific coast, and seemed to vindicate tho
provisions oi the bill, which have been criticised
by a minority of the committee in their published
“views."
The majority present arguments and facts as
justifying tbelr nc ion in rei ard to the general
raiuoad policy of the bill, -ud iu defence of its
leading provisions. They assert that the roads,
Ibe bigbwuj s of nations, are tho measure of their
civilization, and maintain that there is no object
to which the government eon so profitably apply
the expenditure of money as the building of each
highways. These should take precedence over
unv and nil ether objects of legislative endow
ment. The United States own the country be
tween the Pacific and Lake Superior. The work
ot development is lor the government; tho popu
lation ot ihe country is too thin and 100 poor to
over undertake it. '
The work, moreover, is of such magnitude as
to be wholly beyond the compass of private
capital. It is of absolute necessity that the Gov
ernment shall undertake and help it through,
and this It can do without the expenditure of a
dollar in money or an increase of the public debt.
In like manner it is manitestly a public duty to
utilize the enormous national capital that now
lire idle in the Southern region, between the
Southern and Western bound trieH of Arkansas
aid the Pacific boundary of California. There
is a vast national domain of corn, wheat, cotton
and gross lands, too distunt from market to be
profitably cultivated, savofor local consumption.
Coal abounds in tbits region. New Mexico and
Aiizona are as rich iu gold, silver, copper and
lent! as any oilier known portion of the world.
The wealth is unavailable to the nation by real
son of the cost of moving machinery and mate
rials loit, or of moviDg the ores to machinery.
The report then argnes that a debtor government
ib bound to improve its assets; that the govem
i, enl is under obligations to give railroads to
distant ierritorit r ß; that trans-continent railroads
will give us what railways cannot give England
or Fiance, namely, increase of popnlation by
imigiallOD; and that two additional trunk rail
ways to the Pacific are necessary.
The majority of the committee feel sure that
tho most experienced railroad operators in the
UniUd Biatcs will agree with theca in say ing that
within a year after tho Union Pacific road opens
it will be unable to move tho. freight that will be
crowded upon it, and they argue that a Blnglo
ine will be a monopoly. The South is entitled
to a line. The Southern States have some rights
that the Middle and Northern States huve. They
have the same right to aceoss to the Pacific on
ihdr parallels of latitude. They have a right to
their share of tbo trans-continental commerce
between Asia and Europo. . . ~ .
Tho majority of the committee insist that addi

This great enterprise U rapidly approaching completion*
(1600) sixteen hundred miles have been built by
two (2) powerful companiMj the Union Pacific Railroad*
beginning at Omaha, building west, and the Central
Pacific Railroad, beginning at Sacramento, and building
east, until the two roads shall meet. Only two hundred
miles remain to be built, greater part of the interval
is now graded, and it is reasonably expected that' the
through connection between San Frondsco'and Now York
will be completed by Juno L
Aa the amount of Government aid given to each is de
pendent upon the length of road each shall build, both
companies are prompted to great efforts to secure the
construction and control of what, when completed, will
be one and the only grand, Railroad Lint connecting the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
One Hundred and Twenty Million Dollars (8120,000,000)
in money have already been expended by tho two power
ful companies engaged in this great enterprise, and they
will speedily complete the portion jet to be built
The Government aid to the Union Pacific Railroad and
the Central Pacific Railroad may be briefly summed up
as follows:
First—The right of way and all necessary timber and
etono from public domain
Second—lt makes & donation of 12.800 acres of land to
the mile, which, when tho road Is completed,will amonnt
to twenty-three million (23.600,000) acres.
Third—lt loans the companies fifty million dollars
(S50.oou.oo0), for which it takes a second lien.
The Government has already loaned the Union Pacific
EaOroad twenty five million nine hundred and seventy
eight thousapd dollars (825.978,000). and to the Central
Pacific Railroad ecrenteen million nine hundred and
sixty-four thousand dollars (817.9C4.000). amounting in all
to forty-three million nine hundred and forty-two thou
sand dollars (843.942,000).
The Companies are permitted to issue their own First
Mortgage Bonds to tho eaxno amount as they receive from
the United States, and no more. The companies have
eold to permanent investors upwards of (840.000,000) forty
millisn dollars of thcli First Mortgage Bonds. The com
panies have already paid in (including net earnings not
divided, grants from State of California, and Sacramento
city and Ban Frandeco), upwards of (825,000,000) twenty -
five million dollars of capital stock.
WHAT IS THERE YET TO BE DONE t
In considering t hie question It must be remembered that
all the remaining iron to finish tho mad Is contracted fer.
largest portion paid fer and now delivered on the
line of the Union Pacific Railroad and tho Central Pacific
Railroad, and that the grading Is alxnoet finished.
WHATi RESOURCES HAVE THE COMPANIES TO
FINISH THE ROAD ?
First--They will receive from tlie Government an the*
road progruMea aboat
$7,000,000 additional.
becond They c&n lfauo their own First Mortgage
Bonde for about
87.000.0c0 additional.
Thlrd-The eompanlea now bold almost all tho land
they have up to thin time received from the Government;
upon the comjletion of the road they will have received
in all 23,U00,tCU acres, which at 81 60 per acre would be
worth
834,600 000.
In addition to the above the not earnings of the road?
and additional capital, if necceeary, could be called in to

BbßNine OF THE BIITTIE STEPHENS
Sixty-three Out of One Hundred and
Six Lives Lost,
IKrom the Nor OrlesH.* Times, of Sunday, February 14.]
During the past two davs the puallc mind has
been occupied with one of those wholesale
calamities which have occurred by the hundred
on Western waters in the last fifty years, which
have wrapped in games magnificent floating
palaces, as If by stage machinery, and which has
sent boats like the United States, Magnolia,
Fashion and Innumerable others, which no recol
lection can remember, to swift and speedy
destruction.
It wbb on the sth of the present month that the
Mittie Blephens, whose loss we are now called
upon to record, left IbU port. She bad then been
5 or 6 years In service, having been brought here in
1863, and pnt upon the coast trade, with A. 0.
Goddin.of the Wild Wagoner.as her commander.
A year or eo after she wa9 transferred to Rad
River—was valued at about $lB,OOO, and insured
lor $4,000. Her master and part owner was Cap
tain Kellogg, formerly of the 111-fated Una. Her
pilot was Fete Southerland, who was on the
Glide at the recent explosion, and the only pilot
saved, and who had previously run upon another
unfortunate boat Another pilot was William
Swain. The acting first clerk was Mr. George
Keemer, who was lost, and who had for the trip
taken tho place of Cad. Hays, the proper clerk.
The other clerks were Messrs. Hen thorn and
Cline, and who are now known to have been
saved.
At the time the accident occurred the Mittie
Stephens was on her way to Jefferson, Texas,
with a large consignment of Government Btorea,
some $30,000 in specie, perhaps some money in
greenbacks for paying off two or three regiments
upon the frontier, ana a large amount of hav.
The hay was placed, us is frequently done, four
tiers deep upon the boiler deck. The danger
from the accidental ignition of this mass of in
flammable material was not unknown to tho pas
sengers, but appears to have occasioned no pro
test
On Thursday, the Mittie Stephens had reached
Shreveport, (tho lost point on Red River naviga
ble owing to the raft thirty miles above,) and had
now turned aside into the net-work of bayous,
lakes and lagoons which connect Shreveport and
Jefferson City. It was to this latter point and
the last one attainable by boats from this city,
that the Mittie Stephens was making when the
accident occurred.
At that time she had already gone moro than
half tho distance between Shreveport and Jef
foreon— that is, had left the now choked np cur
rent of Red River altogether, and sailed through
De Soto Lake into Caddo. The latter body
of water lies partly in Louisiana (the extreme
northwest portion) and partly In Texaß, and Is
fourteen miles long and seven wide.
On Thursday night supper had been served at
an early hoar on ’ the unfortunate boat, and the
passengers—a hundred in number—after occupy
ing themselves in the manner usual to those who
havo been several dayß on a boat, had retired. As
early ns 9 o'clock the saloons had begun to grow
thin, at 10 they were deserted, with the exception
of perhaps here and there a party at poker, and
■i by 12 o'clock or midnight, as the boat was still
forty miles from Jefferson, and with no prospect
! of reaching there before daylight, there wub
scarcely anyone stirring beyond the regularly
appointed watch.
Tho boat was, It is now supposed, sailing,
I though the water was ten feet deep In various
Saris of the lake, through tho main channel; that
through what in dry weather, and when tho
i lake is to a large extent dried ap, constitutes a
bayou. Tho fact that a large number of cypress
tree stumps,were just out of the water, rendering
navigation otherwise extremely dangerous, sup
ports this supposition. What confirms the belief
that the main channel was taken is that tho boats
in high water push straight through It with but
little trouble to the pilots.
1 THE AT.ARM OF FIRE.
It was precisely at tho hour ot midnight, when
the passengers and crew wore burled In Bl'umber,
that tho cry of fire was heard on tho doomed boat
—the moßt startling and terrible that can be raised
-on any kind of vessel cut off from communica
tion with tho shore. Tho fact that any alarm at all
was given meant certain death for a large number.
The situation was snch as almost to preclude es
cape from the inflammable character of the cargo,
and tho fact that no other boat was in sight.
What added still a third agonizing feature to tho
ca fj n dty was the suddenness of tho vision of death
which the unhappy passengers, awakened as thoy
werofromdeepsleep, were called upon to con
_ Onco the alarm,,had and once
the wretched inmates had realized that a certain
and violent death was yawning before two out
of every three on board, the scene that followed

wero called open to undergo. In ordinary acci
dents on boats, for Instance In explosions, thd
suddenness and unexpectedness, of the calamity,
divests it of one clement of ihorror.' : Supposing .
that the passenger escapes, once the danger .Is
over—thero ls then bpt little else to fear; or, or
dlnsrlly, when a boat catches on Are, It Is, per- j
haps, In the daytime, and, if at night,the narrow
ness of the stream renders It easy toSwlmor run I
tho boat asho_re,_ P
In the pre'sent .case, the' passengers’: who were
nnable, or who bad not the prcsenco of mind to
save themselves' by floating, were compelled, to;
store death steadily In the face while tho vessel
slowly consumed, to gradually retreat to the rear\
as the (lames advanced, and Anally leap to cer- \
tain death Into tho black waters below. (
;Wby, it will; be now asked, was not the boat
run to, the Shore? The answer, to this question 1
is, that the water of the lake, outside of the )
channel already referred to, was too shallow to
admit ol close approach to the low, swampy :
shore. The boat,.in all probability, gronn'ded in !
attempting some each movement. Still, the ‘
number of stamps of cypress there > arg lathe ,
lake, ought to have a (forded the passengers a
bold, once they had reached them,-aatu day
break .
The first dnty of tho captain—which doubtless
was performed—was to throw overboard every
bale of bay that conld be rescued from the flames,
every door, shatter and life-preservers and to In
form, at the same, the passengers what they had
to do to save life. Supposing such precan tions
to have been taken,-and that a bale or hay ought
to support four or five men—that people from
the surrounding country weresoon attracted by
the flames to their situation and rendered help, It
Is not easy to understand how so many victims
met a watery grave..
What appears 'singular, too, is that some of the
passengers on board, who are known, like the
first clerk, or W. B- Broad well (one of the largest
cotton buyers of the city), to have been men of
experience, should also have perished by the ac
cident. The fact that the passengers were asleep,
and that some of them perished In the flames
accounts for some of the number, bat by no
means dll.
One thing, however, is certain, the Mittle Ste
phens bad, at the time of the accident,more than
a hundred sonls on board in the passengers and
crew, and of that number only forty-three were
caved. The remaining sixty-three perished by
drowning,or, Btili more miserably, in the general
holocaust of the vessel; and the corpses of these,
as tbote who traveled upon many other well
known steamers, are, doubtless, at this momout
beneath the sluggish end.-sullen waters of the
lobe.
| Here follows a list of the lost and saved, which
we omit,it having been published already.j
Among - those lost on the Mittle Stephens,
bnmed in Lake Caddo, on the 11th Inst, was
Tolbert J. Milligan, second engineer ot the boit,
brother of Samuel Milligan, of New Albany, In
diana. Mr. Milligan was born and raised in New
Albany, and learned his Etrade in the foundry of
Lent. South & Shipman. He left New Albany
ten years since, os striker on one of Captain J.
W. Cannon’s Vicksburg steamers, and has since
been engaged, np to the time of his death, as en
gineer on the Southern rivers. At one-time he
was employed as engineer in the Confederate
gunboat Bervlco, and, at the time of the recaptnre
of the Quteu of the West, was acting aa engineer
on that vessel, and came near being drowned,
but was rescued by some of the Federal (roopß,
jnst a>- be was sinking the third time. At the
time of his death be was about twenty-eight years
of age. He was familiarly known os Tommy
Milligan.
